Question

What is the value of x in the equation 3-2x--15x? 6 2 2 6

Answer 1

Consider the given equation is $3-2x=15$ and one of the 6 in the options is -6.

Given:

The equation is

$3-2x=15$

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

$3-2x=15$

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

$3-2x-3=15-3$

$-2x=12$

Divide both sides by -2.

$x=\dfrac{12}{-2}$

$x=-6$

Therefore, the value of x is -6.
